<p>[QUOTE="ziggy9, post: 929457, member: 8360"]this is a die break between the 9 and the muntmark. I have never heard of a dropped letter being hard enough to leave permanent damage to the die, and even if it were the copper planchet is softer than the die so it would be driven more into the coin than the die. The resulting damage wouldn't be as high relief as the mintmark.</p><p><br /></p><p>Richard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
